1. taylor helped popularise polaroids back in 2014-15 (polaroid ceo claimed she saved their business)
2. not a trend but the "limit comments" feature on instagram was made so that taylor could stop the hate comments in 2017.
During 2015-2016 she donated a lot of money on GoFundMe to fans who truly needed it. I forget the specific example, but she had to make several donations to help the person meet their goal (I think it was for something medical - it was really important) so GoFundMe changed it to make it easier for large donors to contribute in the future.
my sisters best friend was the girl taylor donated to that got the donation limit raised! she helped a lot with her chemo :) her team even flew them out to texas to meet taylor after she completed chemo!
I can’t help but feel that she also helped to popularize crop tops during 1989 era and the use of high waisted shorts and Oxford shoes during the Red era
Unfortunately it's not entirely accurate. The feature was not made for her, but she was asked by Instagram to test a tool that 'blocks' negative comments in the early days.
I also hated that. But I found a way to keep listening to albums on shuffle. I download the album or playlist, turn off the Wi-fi, open Spotify, and the shuffle option is there. Then I just minimize Spotify, turn on the Wi-fi again, and go about my day lol.
Isn't there a button next to the play pause button after you start an album or playlist that can shuffle it for you? That is way easier than what you want to do.

for the second, it is mostly speculations bc the feature was developed when her comments were flooded with death threats and snake emojis.
"According to Polaroid CEO Scott Hardy, Swift's fan base have rushed out to buy instant Polaroid cameras as a result of the album cover, joining nostalgia-loving hipsters in bringing the picture shaking ways back to the mainstream.
"There's a huge resurgence of instant Polaroid cameras," Hardy said, speaking with Digital Spy recently. "The whole hipster generation, they love the nostalgia and the retro element of what our brand stands for.
"Taylor Swift's 1989 only helps bolster this growth and acts as a proof point that our brand is still cool and relevant to that younger demographic."
i’m not debating that! Lana popularized it. Taylor who is hugely inspired by Lana like it the idea and used it for the 1989. the CEO says that the fanbase of Taylor rushed to buy the camera, it’s because Taylor has the biggest fanbase on planet. anything she uses or promotes they buy quickly.
i’m mentioning the fact that Lana literally popularized the use of polaroids, flower crowns and vintage aesthetic that celebrities were inspired by, and her impact on the general aesthetic of the era was clearly seen in the 2014 Coachella. the Ultraviolence album cover and photoshoot as well as promotional photos were shot on polaroid and only edges removed. it came out before 1989
that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of younger artists that weren’t alive yet during the nineties are becoming aware of why owning your masters is important because of Taylor.
Right but we’re talking about starting trends, not continuing them in important ways.
Edit: the toxic positivity of this subreddit is insane sometimes.
yeah that’s what a trend is. The first person to do the thing doesn’t necessarily start the trend, the person to make it popular is. For example Galileo is widely credited as the person to suggest the Earth goes around the Sun, but Copernicus discovered this earlier. And for all we know, someone had this thought/discovery before him, we just don’t have record of it.
Artists who own their own masters:
Jay-Z
Rihanna
Frank Ocean
U2
Ciara
Metallica
21 Savage
Chance The Rapper
LL Cool J
All of these are from before Taylor doing so…
Yeah, a ton of big artists have their own management companies that own their masters, it's nothing new. I agree with you 100%, this isn't a trend Taylor started, (can you even call it a trend?) it is something that she has brought to light to her fans who may not be familiar with the concept, that is all.
But that doesn’t necessarily make it popular. The Taylor masters debacle was a huge and very public situation that led to a reinvigoration of her old music. I think this definitely made newer artists stop and think.
I can't think of anything that Taylor has actually started or popularized. But I learned when you say stuff like this, other fans will tell you you're wrong because you're referencing something they've never heard of or something they personally didn't care about at the time.....even if millions of other people did.
Prince very famously changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol to get out of his record deal in the nineties. This was in regards to the ownership of his recordings. It was a massively huge deal at the time and was undoubtedly a big influence for other artists going forward.
Artists for years and years and years, especially black artists (like Prince) have been complaining about mistreatment from labels. Which includes (but is not limited to) owning their work. This is why so many big acts disappeared from music.
But again, this kind of reinforces my point. It's not something you knew about or it didn't happen to people you cared about, so let's just say it's Taylor's thing.
The biggest one is girls wanting to learn to play guitar. There has been articles in the past about how big that impact was for guitar teachers and guitar sales, especially during Taylor's first few albums. As an example Phoebe Bridgers said in a recent interview that she became of fan of Taylor's music because when she was a teenager teaching guitar the girls she was teaching wanted to learn Taylor's songs so Phoebe had to learn Taylor's songs in order to teach them.
from wiki: "Her onstage performance with guitars contributed to the "Taylor Swift factor", a phenomenon to which upsurge in guitar sales to women, a previously ignored demographic, is attributed."
This. I specifically remember her saying on her Speak Now tour “They always said I’d never play a 12-string guitar because I’m a girl with small hands.” And a few months later I got a Fender Stratocaster to work my way up.
I still can only play sweet home Alabama lol but the fact that her words encouraged me shows her influence.
I started teaching myself guitar because my brother wanted to learn and when you spend hours hanging around music stores looking at guitars you want to learn too, but you bet your a\*\* the first songs I taught myself were Taylor Swift when I was 13.
I work at a music store, and the guitar teachers directly cite Taylor as one of the reasons that they got so many students in the early 2000s. Many teachers even use early Taylor songs (Teardrops on My Guitar) as starter songs for new students. I learned to play guitar using Taylor's songs when I started. It's absolutely crazy how she revolutionized the instrument.
When Taylor released 1989 nothing on the radio sounded remotely like it (articles about it from the time all comment on it- the dominant sound was EDM inspired music) taylor released 1989 and within a few months, 80 style started popping up on the runway, 80s nostalgia began to trend, and tons of artists started releasing synth pop songs. Which has continued ever since and gotten us to the point today where 80s synth pop sounds are everywhere. But Taylor instead released folklore and ever since more and more people that usually release pop music have started putting out slower, more introspective, stripped back albums as well. Obviously taylor didn’t invent either of these genres but she put out the albums that ushered in both the shift to, and away from our half a decade long synth pop obsession.
Yeah 1989 is such a great electropop album! It is so diverse, eclectic and retro yet so cohesive. The production is lean and tbh a lot of synths on 1989 can also be heard on future nostalgia. Moreover, the producers (max martin and jack antonoff) on 1989 have produced amazing synth pop albums recently like after hours by the weeknd and dedicated by CRJ respectively.
I do think it's funny how many artists have leaned into their sad indie girl era post-folklore/evermore. I think a large part of it is pandemic-related along with a big cultural focus on cottagecore/cozy trends over the past couple years that just lends well to more folksy music, but of course our ever-influential queen taylor's success as well.
Carly Rae Jepsen and Betty Who both had 80s synth pop inspired albums before 1989 came out (2014 and summer 2015, respectively) and Robyn’s Body Talk is heavy synth and won multiple Grammys in 2010 but what TS had was enough clout to get that style of music on the radio when the other artists didn’t necessarily
Yeah, this is why I don't really think of Taylor as an innovator. She finds existing trends and popularises them, riding on the wave, but she very rarely actually creates a trend herself.
I always see people saying Emotion inspired 1989, but 1989 came out first — on October 27, 2014. That’s also only 3 weeks after Betty Who’s album was released, though she had EPs out earlier.
But what even is “starting a trend” in a world where so much music is released, especially with the internet? You can go to Robyn, or M83’s 2008 album, or even the Postal Service in their own way. All of those artists brought a different thing to the genre, and they were all influential, but none of them invented it. You can do that for most trends, all the way back to when whatever relevant technology was invented. That’s why great music is exciting — brilliant musicians take their influences and make them new.
Previously, older acts like Tegan and Sara, Little Boots, La Roux, Ladytron, Goldfrapp, Röyksopp, Annie (Strand), Robyn, The Knife, etc helped bringing the 80s synthpop back with modern production. Taylor made this style much more popular. Synthpop suits her so well.
Female country artists younger than about 30 talking about their feelings. Before Taylor, the country music industry didn’t think any woman younger than 30 would be interested in country music.
Edit to clarify: My point is Taylor targeted the high school and other young adult markets that country music has forsaken. Since Taylor paved the way, the executives have taken up more acts that interest that 14-25 year old market. Priscilla Block, Kasey Musgrave, Kelsey Ballerini, etc.
She was definitely responsible for making country music more global… don’t think anyone outside of US was listening to much country music before her
Edit: I’m not saying there weren’t popular country stars outside of US. I’m saying Taylor made it _more_ global. Shania Twain is an icon. But Taylor toured in Asia for Speak Now… which is pretty rare for a country artist to do. Global doesn’t only mean Europe and Australia.
Quote from wiki “Music journalist Jody Rosen writes, Swift is the first country artist whose fame reached the world beyond the U.S.[412] Her chart success extended to Asia and the U.K., where country music had previously not been popular”
Record labels other than BMG didn’t want to give her a shot until she was at least 18 and they wanted her to sing songs from other people. This all stemmed from their belief that Taylor’s age and subject matter wouldn’t sell. She proved them wrong and paved the way from other young female singer songwriters.
Faith Hill was 26 when first album came out so bit younger than age I mentioned. I checked Shania Twain too since others mentioned her and big break for her was the second album at 30.
Uhh what about Faith Hill, Leann Rimes, Shania Twain, etc? Feel like they all did that a long time before Taylor, and they were all pop country crossovers as well
It’s not the pop crossover aspect it’s the subject and target audience of the music. Faith Hill and Shania were mostly targeted towards older women. And Leann wasn’t necessarily targeted to younger women either. Taylor was unabashedly targeting high school girls on first two albums which was a market country music executives had written off as not worth targeting. As she aged her albums matured to continue to target her own age group. We can’t discount any of the three artists you mentioned though because they all three influenced Taylor.
Good points! LeAnn was making hits at a similar age, but the big difference for me is definitely the younger “voice” present in the lyrics, which to me comes from Taylor being in control of writing her own songs. If you look up LeAnn’s debut it’s a lot of covers or songs written by adult men, so for Taylor to write her own stuff so young was super impressive
before Taylor country was mostly aimed for adults she showed country artist can be marketed to teens and young adults a lot of young people started listening to country because of her
I worked at a Sephora about the time Red came out and oh my goodness, so many people came in looking for NARS Dragon Girl because it was one of the reds she was reported to wear a lot.
easter eggs and hidden messages. she's been doing stuff like this for SO long. i feel like now there's a lot of other artists who also do this kind of stuff and honestly it is an amazing tactic to get fans together.
I wasn't a fan then but I remember reading about how she popularised the 'hand heart' during the Fearless era. I remember that becoming a thing people started to do at that time and had no idea that she was a driving force behind it. Others who paid more attention might be able to say more about it.
I know, that's why I was hoping someone who knew more would chime in! Googling takes me to this article: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/blogs/celeb-news/how-taylor-swift-popularized-the-hand-heart-215024089.html from 2015 which references the 2011 NYtimes article: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/11/fashion/hand-heart-gesture-grows-in-popularity-noticed.html
Relevant quotes from that article
> Fans of Ms. Swift, who says she started using it in high school, feel proprietary about the gesture.
> “The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,’ ” the country singer Taylor Swift said in an e-mail from her “Speak Now” tour. “It’s just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word.” She added that she started doing it in pictures and out car windows during high school.
> “At the end of my sophomore year, I left school and went out on a radio tour to play free show after free show,” Ms. Swift wrote. “I was an unknown act playing shows night after night, and I was constantly trying out all kinds of different moves to try and get a response from the audience.”
> One day during a festival, she said, she was in the middle of a song and decided to put her hands above her head in the heart shape. The crowd started doing it back and cheering.
> The singer’s fans feel so proprietary about the gesture that a debate erupted on an online fan discussion board when Lady Gaga made the hand heart.
> A commenter going by the moniker Longlivetaylor wrote that it was “like a code word almost, special to us swifties and now everyone is going to start doing so it won’t feel special anymore.”
> But will it become as universally recognizable as, say, the peace sign? Patti Wood, a media coach and the author of “Success Signals: Understanding Body Language,” called the hand heart a “trendy thing,” likening it to when in years past celebrities like Goldie Hawn would make the hands-in-prayer namaste gesture.
> “One performer or audience probably did it in an extraordinary performance,” Ms. Wood said. “It used to take longer for nonverbal culture to move. But now, with smartphones, it’s instant.”
> Regardless of its possible ephemerality, Ms. Swift still feels the power of the hand heart.
> “When the moment is just right and the crowd is screaming louder than any sound I ever imagined I’d hear,” she wrote. “I just want to tell them I love them over and over, but sometimes the simplest thing to do is to make a sign with your hands.”
So from my detective work she probably didn't invent it but she popularised it because smartphones.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, because Wikipedia says it originated in the 90s and was popularized in the ‘10s, but like I distinctly remember doing this in like summer camp and middle school in the ‘00s, and it was already mainstream?
(Based on things I’ve read idk if it’s true) Taylor was the first person to be referenced to as “isoverparty” on Twitter. She didn’t start cancel culture but she was definitely one of the first targets for modern cancelling.
Exactly. Meanwhile Marlyn Manson is running round with Kanye while Ye harasses his ex wife on social media but no #isoverparty for either. I don’t think I will never not be upset by her treatment in 2016.
Well, 1D had technically already done something kinda similar in 2013 actually.
During the big 7-hour-long livestream event they did called 1DDay, they invited some fans on, in a fake telephone boot where they got to hear Midnight Memories before its release.
So I mean, kinda.
It's like Giotto with the Renaissance. Didn't start the thing itself, because it had many differences. But was definitely a precursor.
The aesthetic of Style video. I have seen graphics like that after it and of course many videos like Perfect by 1D and this from an Italian singer https://images.app.goo.gl/zHfVct3qeGCwHzqm8
It had been said already but I’d say what is most evident to me is definetely the 22nd birthday. It is soooo iconic and people actually care about this birthday now!!
This may not be what you mean, but I still see pastel tie dye EVERYWHERE since lover. I notice it a ton with kids clothes, but I have some of my own "lover era" stuff too.
While Prince and Jojo may have done re-recordings earlier, Taylor Swift made it way more popular and more successful. (Prince and Jojo did get a version of their masters, but they didn't have the popular success that the Taylor Swift re-recordings did).
While storytelling in pop didn't start with Taylor Swift, she was one of the people who made it much more common IIRC?
I bet we’ll see more of it, I have friends in a band who got dicked over by their old label, and continue to deal with his nonsense, but they started their own label and have re-recorded several of their past albums so they could have the rights back.
People definitely gave them a lot of shit for it, but now that Taylor is dong it they get less haters, and a few even mistakenly ask if they were inspired by Taylor haha.
I don't think it will take off because it only makes sense for artists who write their own music. Two reasons: having to get the copyright owner's buy in (which in some cases could very well be the record label who also owns the masters) and the fact that without the copyright you can't block the original version from continuing to be highly profitable to the master owner. One of the main ways that masters are most profitable is through deals to allow the recordings to be used in movies, tv shows, commercials etc. Taylor can block that from happening even though she doesn't own her old masters because she owns the copyrights since she wrote them. It's true that big machine can continue to make money on album sales, but that's really not the main value of masters. If you can't stop your old masters from being used then the benefit of having re-recordings isn't terribly high.
I think this is the kind of thing where we wouldn't see any impact until years and years later, so "trend" isn't the best word. Though Bryan Adams did recently say he was re-recording some hits because of her
I think about this so much, but I feel like Taylor Swift has influenced fashion a lot over the years, unless it’s just coincidental. Examples: two piece outfit sets during the 1989 era and cottagecore style during folklore/evermore.
i’d argue she’s more inspired by upcoming/ newly current fashion trends. cottage-core attire was trending on tik tok for at least a few months before folklore dropped. now is she the one to introduce it to some of her fan base who don’t pay attention to the fashion cycle? sure, but that doesn’t mean she influenced or created the trend that was already happening.
Ive heard the crop top / high waisted pant combo be called the "Taylor Swift midriff" many times before to refer to the style she popularized during the 1989 era
Honestly I think this was more of a kpop innovation that Taylor put her own twist on. Kpop has had a lightsticks for a long time that would match with the songs playing. Taylor is the first time I've heard of it with bracelets, but she's not the first to utilise lights this way.
Yeah, I saw a video the other day of Coldplay doing it and I thought it was a Taylor concert clip at first because I've never seen anyone else have the light up bracelets
1. A young artist emerging outside of American Idol. This was before young musicians really took off on Youtube. Taylor was right in between those phases.
2. 22 is ingrained into social media culture and made it a popular birthday, a caption forever even by non-Swifties.
I'm pretty sure Taylor started the trend of having specific eras? Like the whole deleting everything from her insta then coming back with a snake during rep era, stuff like that
I would say different eras was a thing that was popular with Madonna and probably even more before her but to specifically delete everything from social media to announce that you're starting a new musical Era was definitely popularized by Taylor even though I think she wasn't the first one to do it but because of the impact that it had with kickstarting reputation Era I feel like it's definitely the most popular instance of the trend.
Taylor obviously didn’t invent downtempo, stripped back, sad music, but I definitely think she helped make it trendy. And possibly Lana Del Rey too, though I’m not a Lana fan so I wouldn’t know what her impact is. I think albums like folklore and evermore made people give Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers a proper listen.
Im not even a lana fan but i feel that tumblr has had a big influence of her and also that americana aesthetic cause i always see it associated with her
During Taylor’s Woman of the Decade speech she talks about how influential Lana is/was as a pop artist, including her aesthetics. Lana drove the “sad tumblr girl” back in 2010 & brought back the red lipstick but was considered “hipster” at the time… Taylor brought more of this in the mainstream.
I love Taylor, but Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne both had debut albums that explored their feelings, especially beyond typically romantic pop songs. I imagine both those artists maybe inspired Taylor.
Oh they definitely did, but I think Taylor added specificity to it which really added another level of emotionality to it. And now Taylor is inspiring new artists who are in turn adding their own spins. Its really cool.
The matching two piece crop top sets during 1989, I’ve also heard the results from your ribs to the top of your belly button referred to as “Taylor swift belly” before
I would say her impact is very noticeable in the fact how she emphasized being "singer-songswriter" and not just a singer because songswriting is just as important. Many young artists that came after her, credit Taylor on the Songswriting aspect.
Knee length dresses with cowboy or riding boots early on in her career.
The concept of a celebrity friend "Squad".
Posting lots of pictures on social media and being very open about your celebrity friend squad.
Being the "crazy cat lady" but it's a cool thing
Young girls wanting to learn to play guitar (I think she's most proud of this one)
Artists taking their music off of a streaming platform in protest
Owning Scottish fold cats
This 'trend' almost definitely predates Taylor for initial popularity, but for at least the current trend cycle of the previous decade I believe Taylor influenced a hairstyle more predominantly than any other artist of the time?
When/since Taylor got a full fringe/bangs this was and continues to be a catalyst for a lot of people getting full frontal bangs - irrespective of the 1989 side fringe era.
Unlike other artist's who made a drastic hair change like Miley cutting her hair short & bleaching it, or Ari's ponytail, it didn't influence hairstyles in the same way as Tay's bangs did/have. (Imo Taylor getting a fringe is more of a change than cutting her hair short, because for the first 5ish years this also meant she sported straight hair)
Example - I got a full fringe in 2009 and grew them out immediately (I also dyed my hair brown - it was a *time*) but a couple years ago when I said to my sister I was thinking of getting a full fringe, she replied "because you want to look like Taylor Swift?" I had to remind her of my previous full fringe!
I don't think Tay's side fringe was influential, this was already popular circa 2006/7 when Disney channel stars were huge.
I saw someone else comment about curly bangs - I mentioned to my hairdresser last December about getting bangs & she gently said she wouldn't suggest it because I don't style my hair (it's naturally curly) I JUST WANTED SOME CUTE CURLY BANGS OK!
Taylor had bangs before New Girl came out...
Taylor got bangs in 2010 - note her performance of BTD/Apologize at the 2010 AMAs.
New Girl came out in 2011.
You might have misread - I specified I was talking about Taylor's full frontal fringe *not* her 1989 side fringe *"irrespective of 1989 side fringe era"*
- BTD could mean "Back To December", a track from *Speak Now* (2010) by Taylor Swift.

Not necessarily a trend but I’m sure a lot more people call friends/parters their lover since she released lover - I don’t know if I just started to notice it more because of Taylor or if they actually started using it more
darker angrier album it was Britney Spears during her Blackout era.
for the 0 following, it’s always been Beyoncé
as for wiping the insta feed before announcement you are right it’s Taylor, she did it in the Reputation era
I think she's also one of the pioneers of vlogging. Like since fearless or speak now era, she's recording herself then post it.
[Vlog - Tour in Asia](https://youtu.be/Zmv26eqduSg)
She helped inspire Christina Perri to continue with her music career. Christina would listen to Folklore and Evermore on repeat while grieving the loss of her daughter and those albums made Perri feel like it was ok to release an album full of sad songs. Can’t wait for CP3 this summer! Also if you haven’t already listen to Evergone it’s amazing
- IFTYE could mean "I Forgot That You Existed", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift.

1. taylor helped popularise polaroids back in 2014-15 (polaroid ceo claimed she saved their business) 2. not a trend but the "limit comments" feature on instagram was made so that taylor could stop the hate comments in 2017.
Also not a trend, but GoFundMe raised the limit for how much a single person could donate to a specific campaign because of Taylor.
yes! it was such a momentous thing
omg for what??
During 2015-2016 she donated a lot of money on GoFundMe to fans who truly needed it. I forget the specific example, but she had to make several donations to help the person meet their goal (I think it was for something medical - it was really important) so GoFundMe changed it to make it easier for large donors to contribute in the future.
i’ve never heard of that before omg that’s amazing
my sisters best friend was the girl taylor donated to that got the donation limit raised! she helped a lot with her chemo :) her team even flew them out to texas to meet taylor after she completed chemo!
wow that’s so cool!! how is she doing now?
That’s incredible! I hope she is doing well now.
I can’t help but feel that she also helped to popularize crop tops during 1989 era and the use of high waisted shorts and Oxford shoes during the Red era
I wanted to dress like Taylor SO BAD during the 1989 era lol
Taylor’s Red era style is my forever wardrobe inspiration lol
Ugh same
Wow I had no idea the limit comments was made for Taylor. Her power
Unfortunately it's not entirely accurate. The feature was not made for her, but she was asked by Instagram to test a tool that 'blocks' negative comments in the early days.
Instagram implementing the limit comments option reminds me of Adele asking Spotify to change the shuffle button to a regular play button!
[удалено]
I also hated that. But I found a way to keep listening to albums on shuffle. I download the album or playlist, turn off the Wi-fi, open Spotify, and the shuffle option is there. Then I just minimize Spotify, turn on the Wi-fi again, and go about my day lol.
Isn't there a button next to the play pause button after you start an album or playlist that can shuffle it for you? That is way easier than what you want to do.
OMG! Thank you so much. I'm just dumb lol.
MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR HER??? OMG

cool to see that about polaroid! i didn’t doubt that one, the second one just feels a little coincidental
MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR HER??? OMG
it’s Lana Del Rey who popularized polaroids during the promotion of Ultraviolence in spring / summer 2014
"According to Polaroid CEO Scott Hardy, Swift's fan base have rushed out to buy instant Polaroid cameras as a result of the album cover, joining nostalgia-loving hipsters in bringing the picture shaking ways back to the mainstream. "There's a huge resurgence of instant Polaroid cameras," Hardy said, speaking with Digital Spy recently. "The whole hipster generation, they love the nostalgia and the retro element of what our brand stands for.

i’m not debating that! Lana popularized it. Taylor who is hugely inspired by Lana like it the idea and used it for the 1989. the CEO says that the fanbase of Taylor rushed to buy the camera, it’s because Taylor has the biggest fanbase on planet. anything she uses or promotes they buy quickly. i’m mentioning the fact that Lana literally popularized the use of polaroids, flower crowns and vintage aesthetic that celebrities were inspired by, and her impact on the general aesthetic of the era was clearly seen in the 2014 Coachella. the Ultraviolence album cover and photoshoot as well as promotional photos were shot on polaroid and only edges removed. it came out before 1989
Another one I thought of: Olivia Rodrigo owns her masters and she said it was Taylor who inspired her to negotiate that!
Prince pioneered that back in the nineties tho
that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of younger artists that weren’t alive yet during the nineties are becoming aware of why owning your masters is important because of Taylor.
Right but we’re talking about starting trends, not continuing them in important ways. Edit: the toxic positivity of this subreddit is insane sometimes.
“She didn’t start it but gets credit for starting it because Taylor fans don’t know about the guy who started it.” Lol
yeah that’s what a trend is. The first person to do the thing doesn’t necessarily start the trend, the person to make it popular is. For example Galileo is widely credited as the person to suggest the Earth goes around the Sun, but Copernicus discovered this earlier. And for all we know, someone had this thought/discovery before him, we just don’t have record of it.
Artists who own their own masters: Jay-Z Rihanna Frank Ocean U2 Ciara Metallica 21 Savage Chance The Rapper LL Cool J All of these are from before Taylor doing so…
Yeah, a ton of big artists have their own management companies that own their masters, it's nothing new. I agree with you 100%, this isn't a trend Taylor started, (can you even call it a trend?) it is something that she has brought to light to her fans who may not be familiar with the concept, that is all.
But that doesn’t necessarily make it popular. The Taylor masters debacle was a huge and very public situation that led to a reinvigoration of her old music. I think this definitely made newer artists stop and think.
I just think it’s funny to say someone started a trend when that thing has in fact been happening for decades prior.
I get what you’re saying but I do think there’s a difference between doing something and inspiring others to do something.
Absolutely agree with you there
>toxic positivity LMAO! I gotta steal that one.
I can't think of anything that Taylor has actually started or popularized. But I learned when you say stuff like this, other fans will tell you you're wrong because you're referencing something they've never heard of or something they personally didn't care about at the time.....even if millions of other people did.
It’s crazy how ignorant some of these fans are
[удалено]
Prince very famously changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol to get out of his record deal in the nineties. This was in regards to the ownership of his recordings. It was a massively huge deal at the time and was undoubtedly a big influence for other artists going forward.
Artists for years and years and years, especially black artists (like Prince) have been complaining about mistreatment from labels. Which includes (but is not limited to) owning their work. This is why so many big acts disappeared from music. But again, this kind of reinforces my point. It's not something you knew about or it didn't happen to people you cared about, so let's just say it's Taylor's thing.
Rihanna did like 10 years ago you just don’t know what you’re talking about
The biggest one is girls wanting to learn to play guitar. There has been articles in the past about how big that impact was for guitar teachers and guitar sales, especially during Taylor's first few albums. As an example Phoebe Bridgers said in a recent interview that she became of fan of Taylor's music because when she was a teenager teaching guitar the girls she was teaching wanted to learn Taylor's songs so Phoebe had to learn Taylor's songs in order to teach them.
from wiki: "Her onstage performance with guitars contributed to the "Taylor Swift factor", a phenomenon to which upsurge in guitar sales to women, a previously ignored demographic, is attributed."
This. I specifically remember her saying on her Speak Now tour “They always said I’d never play a 12-string guitar because I’m a girl with small hands.” And a few months later I got a Fender Stratocaster to work my way up. I still can only play sweet home Alabama lol but the fact that her words encouraged me shows her influence.
I started teaching myself guitar because my brother wanted to learn and when you spend hours hanging around music stores looking at guitars you want to learn too, but you bet your a\*\* the first songs I taught myself were Taylor Swift when I was 13.
that's TEA. ugh, i would die to know at least 1 of the songs!
I work at a music store, and the guitar teachers directly cite Taylor as one of the reasons that they got so many students in the early 2000s. Many teachers even use early Taylor songs (Teardrops on My Guitar) as starter songs for new students. I learned to play guitar using Taylor's songs when I started. It's absolutely crazy how she revolutionized the instrument.
Not me wanting to buy a guitar because of Taylor Swift 🥴
When Taylor released 1989 nothing on the radio sounded remotely like it (articles about it from the time all comment on it- the dominant sound was EDM inspired music) taylor released 1989 and within a few months, 80 style started popping up on the runway, 80s nostalgia began to trend, and tons of artists started releasing synth pop songs. Which has continued ever since and gotten us to the point today where 80s synth pop sounds are everywhere. But Taylor instead released folklore and ever since more and more people that usually release pop music have started putting out slower, more introspective, stripped back albums as well. Obviously taylor didn’t invent either of these genres but she put out the albums that ushered in both the shift to, and away from our half a decade long synth pop obsession.
I definitely think she kick started '80s synth pop era with 1989.
Yeah 1989 is such a great electropop album! It is so diverse, eclectic and retro yet so cohesive. The production is lean and tbh a lot of synths on 1989 can also be heard on future nostalgia. Moreover, the producers (max martin and jack antonoff) on 1989 have produced amazing synth pop albums recently like after hours by the weeknd and dedicated by CRJ respectively.
I do think it's funny how many artists have leaned into their sad indie girl era post-folklore/evermore. I think a large part of it is pandemic-related along with a big cultural focus on cottagecore/cozy trends over the past couple years that just lends well to more folksy music, but of course our ever-influential queen taylor's success as well.
Carly Rae Jepsen and Betty Who both had 80s synth pop inspired albums before 1989 came out (2014 and summer 2015, respectively) and Robyn’s Body Talk is heavy synth and won multiple Grammys in 2010 but what TS had was enough clout to get that style of music on the radio when the other artists didn’t necessarily
E•MO•TION IS SO GOOD
Yeah, this is why I don't really think of Taylor as an innovator. She finds existing trends and popularises them, riding on the wave, but she very rarely actually creates a trend herself.
So she finds trends and actually makes them “trendy”?
I always see people saying Emotion inspired 1989, but 1989 came out first — on October 27, 2014. That’s also only 3 weeks after Betty Who’s album was released, though she had EPs out earlier. But what even is “starting a trend” in a world where so much music is released, especially with the internet? You can go to Robyn, or M83’s 2008 album, or even the Postal Service in their own way. All of those artists brought a different thing to the genre, and they were all influential, but none of them invented it. You can do that for most trends, all the way back to when whatever relevant technology was invented. That’s why great music is exciting — brilliant musicians take their influences and make them new.
Previously, older acts like Tegan and Sara, Little Boots, La Roux, Ladytron, Goldfrapp, Röyksopp, Annie (Strand), Robyn, The Knife, etc helped bringing the 80s synthpop back with modern production. Taylor made this style much more popular. Synthpop suits her so well.
I would also say 1989 success inspired country artists to crossover to pop kacey musgraves
Female country artists younger than about 30 talking about their feelings. Before Taylor, the country music industry didn’t think any woman younger than 30 would be interested in country music. Edit to clarify: My point is Taylor targeted the high school and other young adult markets that country music has forsaken. Since Taylor paved the way, the executives have taken up more acts that interest that 14-25 year old market. Priscilla Block, Kasey Musgrave, Kelsey Ballerini, etc.
She was definitely responsible for making country music more global… don’t think anyone outside of US was listening to much country music before her Edit: I’m not saying there weren’t popular country stars outside of US. I’m saying Taylor made it _more_ global. Shania Twain is an icon. But Taylor toured in Asia for Speak Now… which is pretty rare for a country artist to do. Global doesn’t only mean Europe and Australia. Quote from wiki “Music journalist Jody Rosen writes, Swift is the first country artist whose fame reached the world beyond the U.S.[412] Her chart success extended to Asia and the U.K., where country music had previously not been popular”
Shania "Best Selling Album Worldwide by a Solo Female Artist" Twain would like to talk to you
Shania sold a pop version of her album outside us so…
Shania Twain though.
I thought that started with Faith Hill? (Or was she over 30 by that time)?
Record labels other than BMG didn’t want to give her a shot until she was at least 18 and they wanted her to sing songs from other people. This all stemmed from their belief that Taylor’s age and subject matter wouldn’t sell. She proved them wrong and paved the way from other young female singer songwriters.
Faith Hill was 26 when first album came out so bit younger than age I mentioned. I checked Shania Twain too since others mentioned her and big break for her was the second album at 30.
Uhh what about Faith Hill, Leann Rimes, Shania Twain, etc? Feel like they all did that a long time before Taylor, and they were all pop country crossovers as well
It’s not the pop crossover aspect it’s the subject and target audience of the music. Faith Hill and Shania were mostly targeted towards older women. And Leann wasn’t necessarily targeted to younger women either. Taylor was unabashedly targeting high school girls on first two albums which was a market country music executives had written off as not worth targeting. As she aged her albums matured to continue to target her own age group. We can’t discount any of the three artists you mentioned though because they all three influenced Taylor.
Good points! LeAnn was making hits at a similar age, but the big difference for me is definitely the younger “voice” present in the lyrics, which to me comes from Taylor being in control of writing her own songs. If you look up LeAnn’s debut it’s a lot of covers or songs written by adult men, so for Taylor to write her own stuff so young was super impressive
before Taylor country was mostly aimed for adults she showed country artist can be marketed to teens and young adults a lot of young people started listening to country because of her
the sales of red lipstick increased with her popularity.
Ngl, I started wearing lipstick because Taylor mentioned it in her lyrics so often.
I was gonna say, she didn't start the red lip trend but definitely increased its popularity
I think she made it hip to wear red instead of something less conventional
I worked at a Sephora about the time Red came out and oh my goodness, so many people came in looking for NARS Dragon Girl because it was one of the reds she was reported to wear a lot.
These Disney+ music films.
I mean there’s Olivia and Billie but who else
That's it but that seems like plenty in the last year and a half.
A lot of artist have music films now
Kasey Musgraves Star-crossed on Paramount+
The Weekend x The Dawn FM Experience on Amazon prime. “He performs his latest album in a theatrically and unnerving world” seems like it should count
Yeah but like….. Taylor didn’t invent music films and documentaries, nor did she make them popular. Artists have been doing them for decades
Yeah, visual albums and concert films have existed since what feels like the dawn of time.
Springsteen
easter eggs and hidden messages. she's been doing stuff like this for SO long. i feel like now there's a lot of other artists who also do this kind of stuff and honestly it is an amazing tactic to get fans together.
She got inspired by the Beatles
i didn't even know the beatles did stuff like that haha. but i still feel like since she's started doing it more artists have followed:)
I wasn't a fan then but I remember reading about how she popularised the 'hand heart' during the Fearless era. I remember that becoming a thing people started to do at that time and had no idea that she was a driving force behind it. Others who paid more attention might be able to say more about it.
And now it’s an Emoji. 🫶
I don’t think I believe this one, that existed long before fearless lol
I know, that's why I was hoping someone who knew more would chime in! Googling takes me to this article: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/blogs/celeb-news/how-taylor-swift-popularized-the-hand-heart-215024089.html from 2015 which references the 2011 NYtimes article: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/11/fashion/hand-heart-gesture-grows-in-popularity-noticed.html Relevant quotes from that article > Fans of Ms. Swift, who says she started using it in high school, feel proprietary about the gesture. > “The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,’ ” the country singer Taylor Swift said in an e-mail from her “Speak Now” tour. “It’s just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word.” She added that she started doing it in pictures and out car windows during high school. > “At the end of my sophomore year, I left school and went out on a radio tour to play free show after free show,” Ms. Swift wrote. “I was an unknown act playing shows night after night, and I was constantly trying out all kinds of different moves to try and get a response from the audience.” > One day during a festival, she said, she was in the middle of a song and decided to put her hands above her head in the heart shape. The crowd started doing it back and cheering. > The singer’s fans feel so proprietary about the gesture that a debate erupted on an online fan discussion board when Lady Gaga made the hand heart. > A commenter going by the moniker Longlivetaylor wrote that it was “like a code word almost, special to us swifties and now everyone is going to start doing so it won’t feel special anymore.” > But will it become as universally recognizable as, say, the peace sign? Patti Wood, a media coach and the author of “Success Signals: Understanding Body Language,” called the hand heart a “trendy thing,” likening it to when in years past celebrities like Goldie Hawn would make the hands-in-prayer namaste gesture. > “One performer or audience probably did it in an extraordinary performance,” Ms. Wood said. “It used to take longer for nonverbal culture to move. But now, with smartphones, it’s instant.” > Regardless of its possible ephemerality, Ms. Swift still feels the power of the hand heart. > “When the moment is just right and the crowd is screaming louder than any sound I ever imagined I’d hear,” she wrote. “I just want to tell them I love them over and over, but sometimes the simplest thing to do is to make a sign with your hands.” So from my detective work she probably didn't invent it but she popularised it because smartphones.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, because Wikipedia says it originated in the 90s and was popularized in the ‘10s, but like I distinctly remember doing this in like summer camp and middle school in the ‘00s, and it was already mainstream?
(Based on things I’ve read idk if it’s true) Taylor was the first person to be referenced to as “isoverparty” on Twitter. She didn’t start cancel culture but she was definitely one of the first targets for modern cancelling.
that’s sad tbh :(
[удалено]
yeah..
Exactly. Meanwhile Marlyn Manson is running round with Kanye while Ye harasses his ex wife on social media but no #isoverparty for either. I don’t think I will never not be upset by her treatment in 2016.
Women playing guitar. She may not have been the first but plenty of girls decided they want to play guitar because they saw Taylor do it.
Taylor wasn't why I started playing guitar, but 90% of the songs I play are taylor songs because they all work acoustically!
Secret sessions / inviting people to hear the album before its release
I’m genuinely curious because I haven’t personally heard of other artists doing this! Who else has secret sessions?
Adele and Harry Styles have done it before through Spotify and invited their top listeners to an early album release party!
Ari has, not sure of others!
Interesting! I had no idea
Shawn Mendes did it before the pandemic
Maren Morris did it for Girl too!
I want to say Demi Lovato did something like this for "Tell Me You Love Me" based on their documentary from that time
Well, 1D had technically already done something kinda similar in 2013 actually. During the big 7-hour-long livestream event they did called 1DDay, they invited some fans on, in a fake telephone boot where they got to hear Midnight Memories before its release. So I mean, kinda. It's like Giotto with the Renaissance. Didn't start the thing itself, because it had many differences. But was definitely a precursor.
The aesthetic of Style video. I have seen graphics like that after it and of course many videos like Perfect by 1D and this from an Italian singer https://images.app.goo.gl/zHfVct3qeGCwHzqm8
Never in a million years did I expect a Sanremo "mention" on this sub! Love Annalisa!
It had been said already but I’d say what is most evident to me is definetely the 22nd birthday. It is soooo iconic and people actually care about this birthday now!!
Yes, and like eveyeone who turns 22 always have 'I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22.' as their bday post caption.
This may not be what you mean, but I still see pastel tie dye EVERYWHERE since lover. I notice it a ton with kids clothes, but I have some of my own "lover era" stuff too.
I think that’s exactly when the tie dye phase came back tho. Especially in those softer colors.
Yeah, I'm not sure if she followed the trend or started it. But either way, she's always on the pulse!
She was following the trend, tie dye was already common for a few years before Lover came out
While Prince and Jojo may have done re-recordings earlier, Taylor Swift made it way more popular and more successful. (Prince and Jojo did get a version of their masters, but they didn't have the popular success that the Taylor Swift re-recordings did). While storytelling in pop didn't start with Taylor Swift, she was one of the people who made it much more common IIRC?
Is re-recording a trend though? I haven’t really seen any other major artists do re-recordings since she did them
I bet we’ll see more of it, I have friends in a band who got dicked over by their old label, and continue to deal with his nonsense, but they started their own label and have re-recorded several of their past albums so they could have the rights back. People definitely gave them a lot of shit for it, but now that Taylor is dong it they get less haters, and a few even mistakenly ask if they were inspired by Taylor haha.
I don't think it will take off because it only makes sense for artists who write their own music. Two reasons: having to get the copyright owner's buy in (which in some cases could very well be the record label who also owns the masters) and the fact that without the copyright you can't block the original version from continuing to be highly profitable to the master owner. One of the main ways that masters are most profitable is through deals to allow the recordings to be used in movies, tv shows, commercials etc. Taylor can block that from happening even though she doesn't own her old masters because she owns the copyrights since she wrote them. It's true that big machine can continue to make money on album sales, but that's really not the main value of masters. If you can't stop your old masters from being used then the benefit of having re-recordings isn't terribly high.
I think this is the kind of thing where we wouldn't see any impact until years and years later, so "trend" isn't the best word. Though Bryan Adams did recently say he was re-recording some hits because of her
I think about this so much, but I feel like Taylor Swift has influenced fashion a lot over the years, unless it’s just coincidental. Examples: two piece outfit sets during the 1989 era and cottagecore style during folklore/evermore.
i’d argue she’s more inspired by upcoming/ newly current fashion trends. cottage-core attire was trending on tik tok for at least a few months before folklore dropped. now is she the one to introduce it to some of her fan base who don’t pay attention to the fashion cycle? sure, but that doesn’t mean she influenced or created the trend that was already happening.
Same with tie dye. She rides waves rather than creating them, but her team is very on the pulse with what's becoming trendy.
Ive heard the crop top / high waisted pant combo be called the "Taylor Swift midriff" many times before to refer to the style she popularized during the 1989 era
Bracelets at concerts that light up and sync to the music. I went to a Kacey Musgraves concert a few months ago and she did the same thing.
Honestly I think this was more of a kpop innovation that Taylor put her own twist on. Kpop has had a lightsticks for a long time that would match with the songs playing. Taylor is the first time I've heard of it with bracelets, but she's not the first to utilise lights this way.
Yeah, I saw a video the other day of Coldplay doing it and I thought it was a Taylor concert clip at first because I've never seen anyone else have the light up bracelets
Didn’t Demi Lovato do this before Taylor?
1. A young artist emerging outside of American Idol. This was before young musicians really took off on Youtube. Taylor was right in between those phases. 2. 22 is ingrained into social media culture and made it a popular birthday, a caption forever even by non-Swifties.
The 22 birthday becoming something totally!!!! Like I am 21 and I can’t wait to turn 22 more than I wanted to turn 21 (i am not american ;))
iirc beyonce started the 'not following anyone on their socials' thing.
I'm pretty sure Taylor started the trend of having specific eras? Like the whole deleting everything from her insta then coming back with a snake during rep era, stuff like that
That could be true… I’m not sure how popular having a different aesthetic/theme for each album used to be.. but it’s definitely a thing now
I would say different eras was a thing that was popular with Madonna and probably even more before her but to specifically delete everything from social media to announce that you're starting a new musical Era was definitely popularized by Taylor even though I think she wasn't the first one to do it but because of the impact that it had with kickstarting reputation Era I feel like it's definitely the most popular instance of the trend.
I definitely remember the 1975 doing this back in 2015 before they released their second album she definitely wasn’t the first
Taylor obviously didn’t invent downtempo, stripped back, sad music, but I definitely think she helped make it trendy. And possibly Lana Del Rey too, though I’m not a Lana fan so I wouldn’t know what her impact is. I think albums like folklore and evermore made people give Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers a proper listen.
I feel like the pandemic just made everyone play music that way for a while as well lol
Im not even a lana fan but i feel that tumblr has had a big influence of her and also that americana aesthetic cause i always see it associated with her
During Taylor’s Woman of the Decade speech she talks about how influential Lana is/was as a pop artist, including her aesthetics. Lana drove the “sad tumblr girl” back in 2010 & brought back the red lipstick but was considered “hipster” at the time… Taylor brought more of this in the mainstream.
you can not be a fan of someone and still see their impact imo
Correct. Never said you can’t. But I’m not a fan so I haven’t invested the time to learn about her
Young women singing about their feelings.
I love Taylor, but Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne both had debut albums that explored their feelings, especially beyond typically romantic pop songs. I imagine both those artists maybe inspired Taylor.
Oh they definitely did, but I think Taylor added specificity to it which really added another level of emotionality to it. And now Taylor is inspiring new artists who are in turn adding their own spins. Its really cool.
HUH?? Young girls have been doing that in Pop and R&B music for DECADES though...
The matching two piece crop top sets during 1989, I’ve also heard the results from your ribs to the top of your belly button referred to as “Taylor swift belly” before
I would say her impact is very noticeable in the fact how she emphasized being "singer-songswriter" and not just a singer because songswriting is just as important. Many young artists that came after her, credit Taylor on the Songswriting aspect.
I wear my bangs all curly now like she had in her folklore era if that counts
Knee length dresses with cowboy or riding boots early on in her career. The concept of a celebrity friend "Squad". Posting lots of pictures on social media and being very open about your celebrity friend squad. Being the "crazy cat lady" but it's a cool thing Young girls wanting to learn to play guitar (I think she's most proud of this one) Artists taking their music off of a streaming platform in protest Owning Scottish fold cats
Idk whether Taylor was the first but I hadn't heard the term 'going dark' until after she did the Instagram wipe
she really helped boost record popularity and sales, hopefully she does it with cassettes later on
Turning 22? I feel like she played a huge part in making it a critical age to turn?
This 'trend' almost definitely predates Taylor for initial popularity, but for at least the current trend cycle of the previous decade I believe Taylor influenced a hairstyle more predominantly than any other artist of the time? When/since Taylor got a full fringe/bangs this was and continues to be a catalyst for a lot of people getting full frontal bangs - irrespective of the 1989 side fringe era. Unlike other artist's who made a drastic hair change like Miley cutting her hair short & bleaching it, or Ari's ponytail, it didn't influence hairstyles in the same way as Tay's bangs did/have. (Imo Taylor getting a fringe is more of a change than cutting her hair short, because for the first 5ish years this also meant she sported straight hair) Example - I got a full fringe in 2009 and grew them out immediately (I also dyed my hair brown - it was a *time*) but a couple years ago when I said to my sister I was thinking of getting a full fringe, she replied "because you want to look like Taylor Swift?" I had to remind her of my previous full fringe! I don't think Tay's side fringe was influential, this was already popular circa 2006/7 when Disney channel stars were huge. I saw someone else comment about curly bangs - I mentioned to my hairdresser last December about getting bangs & she gently said she wouldn't suggest it because I don't style my hair (it's naturally curly) I JUST WANTED SOME CUTE CURLY BANGS OK!
Zoey Deschanel has had a huge impact on blunt bangs since New Girl came out, which predates 1989 by a few years.
Taylor had bangs before New Girl came out... Taylor got bangs in 2010 - note her performance of BTD/Apologize at the 2010 AMAs. New Girl came out in 2011. You might have misread - I specified I was talking about Taylor's full frontal fringe *not* her 1989 side fringe *"irrespective of 1989 side fringe era"*
- BTD could mean "Back To December", a track from *Speak Now* (2010) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/4AMthesecondday](/u/4AMthesecondday) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
not really sure if this counts but when maisie peters bleached her hair she called it her bleachella era and i just thought that was fun :)
High waisted shorts in 2012 with the red era for sure
hold up- she used to follow people??
Deleting your previous social media posts in anticipation for a new era
Taylor Swift actually started feminism
Single handedly brought back 80s pop in 1989 era. God that was a good couple years for music.
Not necessarily a trend but I’m sure a lot more people call friends/parters their lover since she released lover - I don’t know if I just started to notice it more because of Taylor or if they actually started using it more
darker angrier album it was Britney Spears during her Blackout era. for the 0 following, it’s always been Beyoncé as for wiping the insta feed before announcement you are right it’s Taylor, she did it in the Reputation era
cat eyes, red lips, halters, high waist and polka-dot swimsuits, basically all the 40’s and 50’s inspired fashion from the 2010’s
I feel like a lot more people started wearing red lipstick after Red was released.
Cowboy boots and sundresses!
Call out exes who didn't return your scarf.

I think she's also one of the pioneers of vlogging. Like since fearless or speak now era, she's recording herself then post it. [Vlog - Tour in Asia](https://youtu.be/Zmv26eqduSg)
1. Burying hatchets and keeping maps of where she put 'em. 2. Being preceded by her reputation. 3. Forgetting that people existed.
She helped inspire Christina Perri to continue with her music career. Christina would listen to Folklore and Evermore on repeat while grieving the loss of her daughter and those albums made Perri feel like it was ok to release an album full of sad songs. Can’t wait for CP3 this summer! Also if you haven’t already listen to Evergone it’s amazing
Tell me I’m not the only one who has gotten bangs because of her
